Neko Cats of Mar Vista

I've always loved how many of the neighborhood businesses in Mar Vista display a Neko cat. If you don't know much about these Japanese felines, they are good luck charms for businesses welcoming customers.  When I was a kid we had a troublesome cat named Neko but these ceramic ones are pretty low-maintenance.
